New Apple TV Apps:

Ammo Pigs: Armed and Delicious ($1.99) – A retro 2D platformer set in a future where man has been wiped out and robots have turned the Earth into a planetary slaughterhouse. Seems that pigs can’t get catch a break no matter who’s running the planet. At least now they’re armed.

Tabata Super Slim (free) – A “Tabata Interval timer for intensive fat-burning trainings!” I had to look up Tabata. It’s not for me. If it’s for you, this app will help you time your “all out effort” and rest rounds.

Quiz Conquest ($3.99) – As you might have gleaned from the title, this is a quiz game. Play alone or against up to three other players.
